BMI does not capture the high fat mass index and low fat-free mass index in children with cerebral palsy and proposed statistical models that improve this accuracy. [PDF]
Int J Obes (Lond), 2019 Background/objectivesChildren with cerebral palsy (CP) are at risk for having a misclassified overweight/obesity status based on BMI thresholds due to their lower fat-free mass and similar fat mass compared with typically developing children. The primary

Prognostic potential of body composition indices in detecting risk of musculoskeletal injury in army officer cadet profiles. [PDF]
, 2017 OBJECTIVES: High values in most of the body composition indices have been related to musculoskeletal injuries, but limited data exists on the accuracy of these diagnoses when detecting musculoskeletal injuries in military populations.

Sexual Dimorphism of the Fat Mass Index and the Fat-Free Mass Index in Healthy Adolescents
, 2023 Body mass index (BMI) does not allow to discriminate the composition of the different body compartments. This study points to the formulation of reference values of fat mass index (FMI) and fat-free mass index (FFMI) in healthy adolescents by means of anthropometric techniques, and the subsequent availability in clinical practice as reference charts ...

Waist circumference adjusted for body mass index and intra-abdominal fat mass. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BackgroundThe association between waist circumference (WC) and mortality is particularly strong and direct when adjusted for body mass index (BMI). One conceivable explanation for this association is that WC adjusted for BMI is a better predictor of the ...

Serum osmolarity and haematocrit do not modify the association between the impedance index (Ht2/Z) and total body water in the very old: The Newcastle 85+ Study [PDF]
, 2015 Bioelectrical impedance is a non-invasive technique for the assessment of body composition; however, information on its accuracy in the very old (80+ years) is limited.

Body Mass Index in determination of the relationship between body constitution and motor abilities [PDF]
Fizička Kultura, 2022 The aim of this paper is to review and summarize the theoretical and empirical facts of using the (BMI), (body mass index) in determining the relationship between body constitution and motor skills. Several key circumstances have been identified in which
